      As a non-parisian French I’ve hated it my whole life but even I need to admit I’m recent years it’s been transforming for the better.

    I could be convinced that there is a part of Paris that is like that. It doesn’t look like a part of Paris anyone would want to spend much time in though.

    Whats scary is that 90% of my own city looks like that. I literally would not be able to say whether that was a picture of a different city or not if somebody showed it to me. The other 10% is some rundown buildings from the 1800s that weren’t bulldozed because they were churches or sat next to them.

      I’ve seen this almost happen at a bus stop at a busy intersection on the shittiest stroad in town. Just barely missed the bus stop bench and took down the bus stop sign and a woman pulled the guy in front of her back a few inches just barely saving him from getting ripped out of the ground like the sign post.

    It looks like a crossing where gangs fight out territory disputes. Its aweful but I get the vibe, sometimes I like to go to weird/fucked up places, get myself a drink and a cigarette and just enjoy it. Like, not because of the vibe or scenery. It makes me feel like I go from 3rd person to 1st person view. Like “I really am alive this world is fucking weird look at this view is this even anything like civilization it feels like anything could happen wtf woah this is amazing”

    Kind of like being alone in the woods for a while and you get a bit worn out with a whimsical and hardcore touch grass kinda vibe like “I am a human and I am in nature there is no technology I don’t know where I am and I like it let’s go over there”. But than in a kind of weird outer city/industrial park area like this city and like what the fuck this is society this is humanity I don’t know where I am but I enjoy this and I grab a beer and perceive life.

    I especially like both these things overseas and in foreign counties

      I once enjoyed a delicious Colombian meal at a street table in Seven Sisters, north London. Shortly after the food arrived two men got into an altercation on the street, both acting like complete arseholes. One of them then disappeared off for 5 minutes and returned with a claw hammer he’d bought from a nearby hardware shop. He attacked the man half-arsedly with the claw hammer for a while then wandered off, but not far. Then the police turned up, and did a terrible job of working out who hammer man was. It was very entertaining, and the man who was being attacked with the hammer was not really injured. Dinner and a show 🤌

        So weird to think of hanging on to your rage through the process of selecting a hammer and purchasing it. I think when I pulled out my credit card I’d be like “this is stupid - I should be buying a crowbar”.

        I was once waiting for a bus around there. I had my headphones on full blast and was just enjoying the sunny day. Random bus drivers would stop, break out a sweat and frantically try to wave me to come on to the bus, but I waved them on because they weren’t my bus.

        Finally I got hungry and as I turned to grab my duffel bag, I saw two guys surrounded by a group of men, going at each other with a knife, one of them thrusting up to his face and the other holding his hand down. Police swarmed about a minute later. I got on the fucking next bus.

        Yes they do. They even admit it’s a terrible design because they have to add a second smaller slightly-turned light so you can actually see the light when you’re stopped at it.

        I had a roommate years ago that collected dozens of escort flyers on his trip to Vegas and sealed them on a coffee table under acrylic.

                  Youre bagging on the anti-car community by making a general assumption that they are unable to drive a car?
